Squamous Cell Carcinoma
When your dermatologist calls you at home at 8:00 PM on a Monday night you know it's not a good thing.
Ten, eleven years ago I had a spot on my left ring ringer that wouldn't heal. I finally got my GP to send me to a dermatologist and he biopsied it. Squamous Cell Carcinoma was the result. The biopsy took care of it but they squirted nitrogen on it to be safe.
A little over a month ago I had some weird skin happening along the nail of my ring finger on the right hand. It looked similar to what happened 10 years ago so I asked my GP for a referral to another dermatologist.
Now I'm waiting to hear from a plastic surgeon who will either remove the nail from my finger and treat what's below or remove the end of my finger.
Check yourself for any new lumps or bumps........
